Both he and Betty White were animal activists who were part of the Not Quite 100 Club.

His animal rights activism is why the channel on Pluto TV that shows his TPIR episodes doesn't show episodes from 1972-1981 (including those hosted by Dennis James). 1981 was the year his wife died, and it was because of her that he became an activist.

With Bob's passing, Peter Marshall is the oldest of the classic game show hosts.

Not him voicing himself, but still awesome.
